A smoker never gets bored. There's always something to smoke.

This is their curse, because everything is irritable without it.

smoking
. No matter what's happening in the world, if enough time's passed since the last 
cigarette
you can call a smoke break and take time away from "important matters". Doesn't matter if a country's being invaded and carpet bombed. Children could be dying at the hands of savages wielding machetes. All that can wait. For we must smoke!

It's a great life to live. The smoker's life. The only problem is that it usually leads to a shorter one. So yeah not a lot of people in the states smoke anymore except for the uneducated and the young and reckless. It's no fun now. It's not as nice smoking with down trodden folk who don't look at it with the same starry eyes as you. But there's a niche of people who do like smoking cigars.

But god damn you can't smoke more than two cigars in a day.
